Your correction if his pronunciation of Locus Caeruleus (Latin for “bluish place”) was incorrect.
The letter “C” should NEVER make the “S” sound in Latin. The letter should always be hard, never soft or palatalized.
(In some cases the “C” should be pronounce like a hard “G” though. The letter “C” originally made the “G” sound, as it came from the Greek “Gamma,” and ultimately from the Phoenician/Hebrew “Gimel,” but by the 3rd century B.C. people started pronouncing it more like a “K”/”Kappa.” The letter “G” was invented, supposedly by the freedman schoolmaster Spurius Carvilius Ruga, for cases where a writer really wanted to emphasize that the C should be pronounced the old fashioned way. The letter “G” never really caught on in abbreviations though, which is why “C.” usually stands for the name “Gaius.”)
The diphthong “ae” in “Caeruleus” came to be pronounced the same as the long “e” during the middle ages, but before that was pronounced like the word “eye.” Since the diphthong “oe,” formerly pronounced like the “oi” in “oink,” also came to be pronounced like an “e,” it became common to misspell the word that way.
lol. I was going by this:

However, it’s also how most actual scientists on YouTube seem to be saying it also.

Scientists are notoriously bad at Latin pronunciation, almost as incompetent as lawyers or legislators. Their butchery of the language would make any classicist cringe.
I’d say the war of language (or the free market of language) has won, if a majority of scientists are saying Coeruleus “wrong”, the wrong becomes correct.
This is how language works.
I recommend this hilarious and brilliant book, “The Mother Tongue – English And How It Got That Way” by Bill Bryson.
